Introduction to Threadleaf Sundews; Sparkling Leaves with a Killer Instinct

[@pennyesposito5619]

I love these!!! They look like diamonds shining in the Florida sun. I've bought every one you sell.

Hi Penny!!! Thank you for the support! ❤️🌱

[@deandavis8165]

Great tutorial, as always! I've been to the habitats of these, my favorite sundews, in the Barrens, southeast, and the Gulf Coast while searching for rare snakes, turtles, insects, salamanders and frogs to photograph, and a ditch, fen or swamp edge overflowing with them is breathtaking with the light just right. Kate is awesome, but I love all you guys. Peter my fave of course because we are of a certain era and started the same way in insectivorous plants. Look forward to each new vid.

Even though my f. filiformis & f. tracyi come back every year, I'm scared they might not, so I take a leaf cutting & grow them in a bottle of distilled water & float them in my fish tank...just in case. The teeny plantlets that grow are the cutest. 🌱

[@California_Carnivores]

That’s a great idea! I always think every plant parent should take cuttings to insure their collection! You just never know what can happen.

My tracyi did not come back this spring. He's outside on the patio table.... I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST. How did I manage to kill him!? He was in a cache pot that holds the rain water and I only supplemented on occasion in summer when he was starting to get dry. It's late spring now and theyre coming back for friends, but mine is MIA

Every once in awhile, I find Threadleaf sundew seeds for sale online. Are they relatively easy to propagate from seed or are they ridiculously difficult…I mean King sundew difficult? Thanks. They are drop dead beautiful!

[@California_Carnivores]

They are easier from seed than King Sundews! I would try growing them from seed!

[@bobcarn]

I couldn't catch the full name of the filiformis that grows in the Jersey Pine Barrens. I live in NJ and would like to try one. Which one should I order on your website? Is this something I could keep outside during the winter? Or would it have to come inside?

[@Anonymouss222]

4:10 is that one plant?😮

[@MrJoaoantonio]

Muito bom kate

[@Tommyr]

KATE!!!!

[@m.hoffman2889]

what about Filiformis var Gigantea? the all red variant also doesnt go dormant in winter

[@California_Carnivores]

We do see it go dormant in winter here!

[@Royaliize]

How Hardy Are normal form of filiformis? Here we can get winters around - 10c. Ty in advance.

[@California_Carnivores]

You’ll want to really mulch them in well on top and the sides of the pot with at least 4” of mulch if they’ll be exposed to that kind of coldN

Do you know what might be wrong with mine? I have a Drosera x California Sunset that's growing indoors in a water tray (distilled) under a 12 hour purple grow light. I have a humidifier that runs all day right beside it. It's in a pot (general cp soil) right next to a drosera coccicaulis that's doing great and producing dew. But all of the california leaves are black and shriveled :(

[@California_Carnivores]

If it’s possible, the temperate sundews always do best outside. They like the full sun, the airflow and all the bugs. Did it get a full winter dormancy this year? Have you been fertilizing it?
